The popularity of the salad does not make its preparation simple and correct. Housewives still argue about the number and order of layers in the salad "Herring under a fur coat".
And this is not the only mystery of this dish. Sometimes the salad "floats".
Expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" Yulia Arkhipova - a cook and fourth-class baker explained why this happens.
Because the layers of the salad are floating, it doesn't seem as presentable.
Even if the floating salad turns out to be tasty, no one will touch it anyway.
What's the problem?
First, choose good mayonnaise.
It should be thick and it should be mayonnaise, not the popular sour cream-based sauce.
Secondly, when choosing herring, don’t skimp on quality.
If the fish has been in brine for a long time, it will release a lot of excess juice in the salad.
If you don't have any other fish, keep it on paper napkins.
Thirdly, if the beets are watery, let them sit.
Place it in a sieve or colander before forming the salad.
By eliminating these mistakes, you can rest assured about your holiday table!
